equivalent to selling or buying?

shorts are forbidden on the stock exchange in France, as far as I know.

and you can also sell the euro index.


I could never understand the point of index trading. Only in terms of pure speculation. Even cooler in terms of meaninglessness than bitcoin

There you trade a pair and there you trade a currency.

The process is underway, there are already sticks)

selling CAC40 for dollars is selling euros/usd.

See specification. CAC40 is a European index, quoted in EUR. The dollar is nowhere near it.

Oh, right. it trades for euras.

Then selling CAC40 would be selling European equities against the European currency.

But, when europe gets bad, so will their shares and their currency. so i don't see the point of such a sale.
